We are delighted with the publication of the second edition of Donald’s most beloved books, Of Love and Sea Glass. It is one of the most popular books to gift with a 5 star rating on Amazon. There have been 90 reviews to date!

Here is a small selection of wonderful reviews from those who clearly treasure the book.

“I have two of these books… one for my home and other for my office where I do therapy/counseling. Clients love it, guests love it, and I love it!! Incredible color, designs, inspiring quotes!! Very creative and heart felt art! You will not be disappointed with this purchase, whether it be for yourself, or a gift for a friend, loved one, coworker, etc.”– sj31

“Soft, touchable, texture that has to be held in your hand and in your heart. This is what Don’s photography evokes. He lives his life in tune with nature and with an artist’s eye he captures beautiful images that will transport you to the exact spot he stood behind his camera. He inspires me daily with his beautiful calendars and I can’t wait to read the inspirational quotes he has paired with the beautiful sea glass.”– catiejan

“A small gem….just like a piece of sea glass. Beautiful and inspirational quotes with photos of sea glass, stone and flowers artistically laid out. Very sweet.”– AMK

“This lovely book was a Christmas gift from my daughter. Between the pages are beautiful images of sea glass, flowers and thought provoking words. I purchased and gave this book to a seriously ill friend, hoping to not only cheer her but to share the beauty found between the pages, beauty for the eye and words for reflection. She loves the book as much as I do. I return to it frequently and find delight each time. Well done, Mr. Verger, and thank you.” – Florence Wiley

We have more of Donald’s beautiful calendars and gorgeous prints on the way to Amazon! Here are some behind the scenes photos at the printing studio who create the high quality prints from Donald’s original photography.

It takes considerable teamwork from graphic designing to precision printing to produce the distinctive style of calendars, note cards and prints which Donald has come to be known for. His vision of using photography to project beauty, calm and sentiment makes his work a consistent favorite on Amazon.

Change is the only constant in life, and the old adage seems to have veracity in Donald’s (printed) life these days. The perpetual calendars have undergone something of a make-over, and now feature a swanky new back cover. Do you like or do you love it?

If you are just tuning in and do not know about perpetual calendars, perpetual calendars are often referred to as birthday calendars or remembrance calendars. Perpetual calendars eliminate the time-consuming task of transferring memorable dates from one yearly calendar to the next yearly calendar. Instead of being centered around that specific year grid, perpetual calendars offer a line next to each date where you can note the importance of that day. The new cover illustrates the way these calendars are used; as a record of birthdays, anniversaries, or things more ephemeral and time sensitive, like the apex of fall foliage in your area. Donald’s calendars are not only utilitarian, but also timeless pieces of art, 12 signature photographs in one sleek and helpful package.

The new version of the perpetual calendars will be available soon on Amazon, and you can track the transfer to the new calendars if you would like. Hope your Saturday is spent making perpetual calendar-worthy memories.

Donald just visited the PAWS sanctuary in San Andreas, CA, to take photographs of majestic elephants on the 2,300 acre property. PAWS is shorthand for the group “Performing Animal Welfare Society,” and has a very interesting history. The group was started by Pat Derby, a noted animal trainer that once trained the likes of Flipper and Lassie for their eponymous television shows. Pat later started to realize some of the abuses and atrocities that occurred to these performing animals, and along with Ed Stewart started the PAWS organization in 1984 to provide “appropriate and humane sanctuary” for animals that have been the victim of the exotic performing animals. They pioneered a particular elephant training called the “non-dominance” training technique that does not require the use of bullhorns, weapons, or other aversive training techniques for the eight elephants they have on the compound. It seems like a great organization to have ties with for reasons of supporting people who are attempting to give back to the world and make a place where the suffering for all creatures is diminished, but also for the selfish reasons of getting to photograph amazing animals running around on a beautiful, wild environment. I am sure that Donald will be posting some of his photographs on this blog or other places, but below is the link to the PAWS website, where you can learn more about the organization and meet some of the animals that live on the sanctuary.
